tached from said cuif,but which will remain securely in position until detached by the Wei/Wel'.

' My invention is illustrated in the accom` panying drawings, in which-- Figure l is au elevation of my complete cuffeholder. Fig. 2 is a side view of the end which engages the cuif. Fig. 3 is asectional view of the same; the device, j a f The cuff-holder A is provided at one'end with the cuif-holding portionjproper, Itfand at the opposite end with a clip D for engagement with the sleeve of the shirt.

The shank A may beinade integral with either of the members d'.

In constructing my cuff-hilder a blank is struck up from sheet metalyhaving integral therewith, if desired, one member of the clip D, as shown. The opposite extremity of the blank is bent tothe fornnof hook shown ,in Figs. 2 and3, having the` tongue B with an Adjacent to the bight of the hook is aprojection C, which may extend slightly beyond the bight of the hook, substantially parallel and in a plane with the shank A ofthe hook. This projection C forms a stap which prevents the Fig. l is anend viewof` shank A from slipping through the button= `hole of the cuff, thus allowing the cuff to' run back `on the holder and becomedisplaced.
